Recap

The queens return to the Werk Room and read Tamisha Iman's lipstick message. Elliott with 2 Ts remarks that two of their past partners got eliminated.

During the next day, the Mini Challenge is the reading challenge. The queens read each other to filth. Elliott with 2 Ts fails to land a joke.

Gottmik wins the Mini Challenge.

RuPaul reveals the Maxi Challenge is an improv challenge. The queens will have to perform in Bossy Rossy: After Dark and create a trashy talk show segment. Rose/Denali/Lala Ri, Utica/Gottmik/Olivia Lux, Symone/Kandy Muse, Tina Burner/Elliott with 2 Ts are the teams.

Tina Burner is very worried about being teamed up with Elliott. She fears that Elliott will shut down and not give what they need for the challenge. In Symone and Kandy's team, Kandy wants to tone down her role to give variety, but Symone thinks it's not time to be subtle.

Denali and Lala Ri want to prove themselves after failing in the previous acting challenge; they leaning on Rose to feed off her energy. In Utica's group, Utica has a lot of improv experience; both Utica and Olivia argue to get the same role. Utica relents to let Olivia have the role.

A segment reveals The Bossy Rossy show was canceled and is now a digital streaming series.

The first segment is about a woman pregnant by her imaginary boyfriend. Rose and Denali are giving plenty of humor as the pregnant women, but Lala isn't giving the same amount of energy.

The second segment is about a woman who escaped a mime cult. Gottmik is the therapist and Olivia Lux is the mime escapee. Utica is the slutty mother who keeps Olivia quiet.

The third segment is about former teen stars who used to be frenemies. The queens had a more subtle performance without any outrageous jokes.

The fourth segment is about a rocket scientist who has a 600-pound butt. Tina is the scientist and Elliott is the betrayed best friend. Elliott and Tina makeout and fall on the ground.

During the makeup prep, Symone is second-guessing herself and her team's performance. Symone's mirror moment reveals that her brother committed robbery and got sent to prison.

Elliott confides in Tina Burner that she feels excluded from the rest of the group. Elliott reveals that she's dealing with depression. Tina reveals that she grew up with a mother who went through depression.

The queens mimic a scene from The Maury Show.

The guest judge is Ts Madison.

The category theme is "Beat It!" Denali is dressed as a chandelier, Rose is in a Tinkerbell-inspired look, Lala Ri has beaded necklace fringe, Gottmik is in a 60s Mod dress inspired by anal beads, Olivia Lux is dressed as a young kid, Utica is in a beaded bloody wedding dress, Kandy Muse is in a fur and beaded large hat, Symone is in a beaded African warrior look, Tina Burner is in a Mardi Gras dress with tearaways, and Elliott with 2 Ts is in a flapper beaded dress.

Tina Burner, Gottmik, Denali, and Rose are safe.

During judging, the judges think Lala Ri got lost in the group, the judges loved Olivia's performance as the mime, the judges loved Utica's runway but not her performance, the judges loved Kandy's runway outfit and her performance, the judges loved Symone's runway and her performance, and the judges loved Elliott's runway but not her performance.

During the secret panel, the judges think Lala has one good moment but not enough, that Olivia shined as the mime, Utica didn't give enough in her character, Kandy killed during the round, Symone killed it overall, and Elliott didn't stand out in the challenge.

Olivia Lux is the winner of the challenge. Kandy Muse and Symone are safe. Utica is safe. Lala Ri and Elliott with 2 Ts are in the bottom two.

The lip-sync song is "Whole Lotta Woman" by Kelly Clarkson. Lala Ri and Elliott bring a lot of sexiness to the stage. Elliott serves many moves and fierceness.

Elliott with 2 Ts wins the lip-sync.
